Cyber-Security in Transportation Technology in transportation can result in productivity gains, however a higher dependency on information technology also leads to greater exposure and potential of being a target for cyber-crimes such as denial of service, stealing of passenger private information and cyber terrorisms. According to analysis for incidents from 2002-2004 transportation systems faced 16% of total cyber hackings and terrorisms on critical infrastructure (IEEE, 2007).…
Introduction This assignment is mainly about the objectives, scope & strategy of a real- life project. A project is a piece of planned work or an activity that is finished over a period of time and intended to achieve a particular aim (project Meaning, 2015). A project is unique as it is not a daily routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed to accomplish a singular goal. Therefore, a project team often includes people who don’t usually work together, some might from different…
Moon Landing Hoax, Neil Armstrong first was the first man on the moon, at least said to be. It’s hard to believe in 1969 that there was basically a space ship created to land on the moonhaving a man walk the first steps there. At the time small objects of new technology was being created such as a mouse for a computer, ATM’s, barcode scanners. Comparing the new technology being created at that time to a space ship on the moon with men aboard it’s difficult to believe; however, a few years after…
We spend so much time in this country talking about the health risks of smoking, drinking, and unhealthy food to preserve our years at the end of our lives. We do very little to actually gain back time during the most productive years. Time spent in traffic and waiting in lines at the store are really a tragic problem in modern-day that never attracts the attention it requires. The postal system in North America has not fundamentally changed since it was started in the 1600s. A person drops…
The Amazing World of Honey Bees Like most animals, honey bees require proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, fats, vitamins, and water for normal growth and development. Honey contains all of these important things, but honey is made just from the nectar of plants and bee added enzymes. Not only are honey bees known for making honey, but they are also pollinators and without them we would lose a lot of necessary things like plants. Honey bees are extremely important for different reasons; however,…
Humans know a lot about space from years of research and scientific discovery, but there is still a lot that is unknown. Our human curiosity and ambition has combined over the years to advance our pursuit the discovery of new astronomical findings. One such ongoing effort is the Voyager Program. Two space probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, were launched in the late 1970s to collect data about our solar system. Voyager 2 was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on August 20, 1977. Voyager 1 was…
NFC and RFID Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, aiming to automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. Near Field Communication (NFC) is one specific type of RFID, and shares many physical properties with it. The differences between NFC and RFID is that many extra properties were developed for NFC to enable secure mobile payments. 1.1. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID was first patented in…
CELL PNONE USAGE IN AMERICA Introduction Cell phones are hand-held phones that also known as wireless phones or mobile phones. Cellular phones are part of modern telecommunication and in many countries, cell phone markets have grown allowing access over half of the population of each country to use cell phones. In 2014, 6.9 billion individuals had a cell subscription globally (World Health Organization, 2014). Cell phones allow people to communicate with other people making it reliable to reach…
amplification of weak radio signals through positive feedback. As Armstrong was a teenager, he became interested in wireless after reading Marconi’s book about sending, wirelessly, the first message across the Ocean; he then decided to build a 125 feet tall antenna mast in his parent’s lawn, in order to further study wireless in all its aspects. As new devices came along, he experimented everything and tried to develop them further. It is with that state of mind that Armstrong, while in junior…
Have you ever wondered what life was like before mobile phones? Today’s generation has carried cell phones around for most of their lives. Let’s frighten the younger generation by telling them what the world was like before mobile phones (Clark). When you arrived at your friend’s house you honked your car horn or went inside to get them instead of making a phone call. Rather than sending Snapchats or following somebody on Twitter, you actually talked to them. People seem to be born with mobile…
